Baristas at 95 Starbucks stores in 65 cities are currently on OPEN-ENDED STRIKE over unfair labor practices.
It's day 13 of the strike. This is the longest ULP strike in the company's history.
Workers are asking customers everywhere to show solidarity by boycotting Starbucks.

Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance.
And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists.
Pathetic.

How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org ✊
Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

These jurors are standing up to facism and I applaud them. I applaud Sean Dunn who feared for his community and put his life on the line for the sake of the people he had reason to believe were in imminent danger. Congrats to all and this is where the heart and soul of our county lives.
They unanimously acquitted sandwich guy, even though this was probably misdemeanor assault. I know I joke a lot about this case, but this jury nullification is actually really embarrassing for Pirro/Trump/Bondi.
What if…they actually acquit him? Lol
